About

This CD features world première recordings of Maxwell Davies’Economies of Scale” and “Dove, Star-folded”, as well as his setting of “Psalm 124”, and an overdue new recording of “Ave Maris Stella” - possibly his most important chamber work to date.

Since its formation in 1974, Gemini has presented a richly varied repertoire, incorporating standard eighteenth, nineteenth century and twentieth century chamber music, new music, music theatre, music and dance and improvisation, plus much music by women and other neglected composers, and works inspired by, or influenced by, music outside the Western European tradition. Community and school concerts feature music from the eleventh to the twenty-first century; folk music from around the world, music by children and young people as well as more standard fare. An on-going series of commissions is developing the use of the bass clarinet in small chamber ensembles.

The ensemble has performed extensively throughout the UK and abroad and given frequent radio and television broadcasts. They are Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Surrey and at the University of Bristol and have a close association with a number of other Universitys' departments of music.
